Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1887-10-01

We have heretofore reproduced some
OF the anti-MAHONE uttc1nces of the
rccnlciirant editor of the I0Hcy Ijr-
0inion, the leading Republican paper
in Virginia He knows, it appears,
that MALONE is already as angry with
Inn as Le can he. and that he (HosD
cfn render biu s,lf DO more OdiOus to
the little General than he is ut present
and so he does not hesitate t. continue b.
"talk cut IN meeting" If the reader will
carefully read end ponder the state
morts contained III the following para
grab, hc will see that the name "MA-
HoNE" must everywhere be substituted
for the words "the leaders, and the
words chs" and chin for the words
"theirs and "them i'll order t. the
perfect truthiulness of the various
aflirmatioDs, and that when this sub
stitution is effected it is apparent that
the fight between YosT and MALONE is
"still on We quote from an article
In the Tailcy Jirginidn of this week,
written in reply to one in MAHoNE's
organ in Washington city-the Repub-
Hc0n:
alt may not be amiss to state that
The Republican party i'll Virginia would
De stronger without what Is called its
LEADERS Malone issuing their his
edicts and prOclaimlng their hlsl bulls,
than it would be with them HIM d.
recting the machinery under their hisl
control to encompass personal ends
and branding those as traitors who
dare to question the perfection OF their
(Mahone 81 methods and conclusions.
If defeat comes 10 the Republican party
in Virginia this fall It Will be the fault
of lMahonel the leaders and the en-
mites they have he hasl invited, not
because the principles and policies of
the party are not endorsed by the peo-
ple. The LEADERS Alahonel Will
throw away the victory, as they have he
hasl done before, rather than modify
their [hisl despotic methods and abate
their his selfish ambitions. The
leaders Malone is thrusting him
self are thrusting themselves forward
as the issue, against the protest OF the
people, under an impulse OF reckless
and insane presumption of personal
strength, Indifferent 10 the success OF
the paity unless they are he isl per-
united to appropriate all the fruits OF
victory. With them Thin it is rule or
min Success would be an empty
achieve ment did it not bring office
and salary and the use of power TO
abuse it III the preierment of the syco-
phants who cringe nj the feet of power
Mahonel and crook the supple hinges
Of the knee that Thrift may follow tawn-
ing, at the expense of the workers who
do the real fighting"
We were about 10 say the other day
that every Republican elected TO the
Legislature--even Yosr-would vote
for MALONE for United States senator,
and attempt TO justify himself on the
plea that he went into caucus and was
bound by its action. But we arc now
satisfied that Yosr at least would refuse
to enter the caucus.
But what OF il? MALONE will see TO
il that no such man shall be elected to
the Legislature. He will take care that
all the members shall be such as will
vote either for him or for the Demo-
cratic nominee. No Yostite will be
elected in Augusta. No Riddloberger.
tie will be elected in Shenandoah. No
Lewisite will be elected in Rocking
ham. No Cameronite will BIO elected
n Petersburg. No Bradyito will be
elected In Dinwiddie. No Walkerite
will be elected in Chesterfield. No
anti-Mabone Republican will be elected
in any county For, as Mr.. Yosr says
in the extract quoted above. Republican |
success would be to Malone an empty ]
